    So to all the down unders, I have an opportunity next year to return to the N Z for another visit to see the family in Auckland. A good month is available with possible stop overs on the way. Are there any major events or places one of our obsession might strive to include? Omaka was truly awesome, having spent a really long day there, where and what else? We were stopped over in Brisbaine for only an hour, might get to arrange a better schedule if I had intell as to what is where. Most likely the major air hub cities would be the best. Any ideas?

    The FE should boost our chaps involved in the Campaign Baz, or maybe not?
    Great pics anyway.

    Hi David!
    Two I would really recommend:
    Near Brisbane at Caboolture is the TAVAS WW1 Museum with many WW1 flying replicas etc.
    In Canberra the superb Australian War Memorial & Museum. Wonderful Dioramas, Historic vehicles, WW1 & WW2 Aircraft. Film Clips etc, etc.
    Check them both out on line!

    I think the next Hood aerodrome open day is October this year. Their website should have details.
    Of course - when you were here last time, I'm sure your son would have taken you to MOTAT. If not, one part of their site has a heap of aircraft.

    Lovely shots, as always, Baz! I agree with Bob that your picture-jitsu is superb...

    That night bomber version of the Fee is really gorgeous, and as Jim mentioned, it's nice to see the bomb arrangement, particularly with the yellow against the black.

    All the best,
    Matt

    Fantastic photos, Barry, thanks!

    I think you deserve a special Avatar Title, like those that some of us enjoy.

    Interesting .... where did you find those photos? I can unequivocally state that those two aircraft did not fly (anywhere) at Easter 2019 !

    To my knowledge the R.A.F. F.E.2b has never flown at an Easter airshow in New Zealand, so this shot from local (Wellington) photographer James Fahey is from some earlier weekend display at Hood Aerodrome in Masterton (probably at least two years old if not more), while the uncredited shot of the DH.5 was also taken at Hood Aerodrome, again (by the look of it) during a Vintage Aviator display and/or practice weekend.

    Up in the Air this time Dave.

    What is the CDL aircraft behind it Dave? My guess is a Gunbus.
